I am using the getnameinfo function to convert an IPv6 IP address to
its name. This works properly if the host info is in DNS. However,
if its in the /etc/hosts file and not DNS then all getnameinfo returns
is the IP address. If i call it with an IPv4 IP address then it looks
up the host name in /etc/hosts. I have tried various host entries:
fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5 mbook6
fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5%rl0 mbook6
fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5%rl0 mbook6.local
Is there a way to get getname info to obtain host names from the /etc/
hosts file. The nsswitch.conf file has
files dns
